Description
IN its first ticketed livestream event, Arden Concert Gild presents David Bromberg Quintet streaming live from the Gild Hall in Arden, Delaware on David’s 75th Birthday – September 19, 2020.
David Bromberg has been a force in American music since the late 1960’s. As an accompanist to Jerry Jeff Walker, Bromberg caught the ear of Bob Dylan, eventually backing Dylan on albums including Self-Portrait and New Morning. Before long, Bromberg was everywhere: in recording sessions with John Prine, Ringo Starr, Willie Nelson and Carly Simon, writing with George Harrison and playing festivals around the world, including the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival where Bromberg tamed a raucous crowd of 400,000, gaining four encores and a record contract with Columbia Records.
Bromberg’s recordings for Columbia and Fantasy Records revealed him as something of a musical cuisinart – into the funnel went blues, country, bluegrass, rock and roll, R&B, Irish fiddle tunes, Dixieland jazz and gospel. The music that resulted was a new category: Americana, though the genre remained unnamed for decades. After a decade of non-stop touring and recording and at the peak of his career Bromberg abruptly dropped out of the music scene, relocating to Chicago to learn the intricacies of violin building and identification.
A later move to Wilmington, Delaware prompted a return to performing for Bromberg who released the Grammy nominated Try Me One More Time in 2006. Fourteen years and four albums later David is still on a roll. His 2020 Compass Records album, Big Road, stayed in the top ten on the Billboard Blues Chart for two months and top fifteen on the Americana Music Association Album charts.
“…there are few stylistic initiatives he’s failed to explore, making him as fine a representative of arched Americana as any contemporary either before or since.…Bromberg continues to top himself in any number of ways…”
